The coffee beans were over roasted, not the best coffee I have ever had. Atmosphere little bit weird, seating as well, you don't get much private space. I ordered chocolate hazelnut loaf, unfortunately not great. Literally I ate the same one in one of Banff's cafe, so most likely made just from a premade stuff. Overall disappointment. More

Cute, cozy coffee shop located near Banff Trail Station. I ordered a latte and I was pleasantly surprised by the large sizes, as well as the quality. I was hoping to order food as well, but they were out of a lot of items on Sunday afternoon like Mac and Cheese, essentially any item with chicken, and a few others.

Came in for the chilli and they were out but the baristas recommended another option so I got it, the next day they tried charging me Lamaist double the price for the same item.. $8 for a bagel with pesto seems a bit stupid when yesterday she charged me $4.50. Not coming here again or recommending it More

Great coffee! Ginger cream is AMAZING, all thanks to the wonderful barista at the counter who suggested it to me. I am hooked now! The atmosphere is very peaceful and warm. Great place to study, read, or just catch a bite with some friends! Will definitely be returning.

This cafe is very meh to me... the drinks I find to be overpriced, and never taste as good as they sound. Underwhelming. Also I tried studying at the one off crowchild and it was freezing inside on a cold day, air blasting out the vents and no comfy seating :/ More

im a regular and i love the drinks and the atmosphere. the only things that aren’t perfect: the washrooms are kinda dirty, and the music is often too loud. other than that, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. i will keep coming back for sure :) More

one of the best coffees I've ever had, plus the jalapeño cheddar scone was fresh and delicious, caprese sandwich was HUGE. I didn't expect the size of it all, really good value. Friendly staff and a nice environment inside and tables outside too :) More

These ladies work their hardest and everything is always on time. Last time I can in and was running late for work. They ask what I was waiting for and immediately got to it. Fast service is a big when you are working a good few minuets away haha More

My breakfast was awesome. Tasty and with good balance of all ingredients. Dirty chai was a little bit bitter than usual, which was great and far more better than bloody sweet pre-mix powder some cafe using. I was not sure if it was homemade

I've always enjoyed this coffee shop and found it a nice atmosphere and hangout. With seating limited just now and more people studying it's become understandably very hard to get a table. I had a humiliating experience recently when there

Ive been coming here a while and I've noticed a decline in quality as of late, specifically when the smaller woman makes my coffee. Each time I have gone and she has made my coffee the milk has been burnt leading to my latte tasting awful.

Good selection of breakfast/ lunch options ( bagels, salads, soup of the day, sandwiches and pastry). The staff was friendly but busy and the order took longer than in any other coffee shop ( and there’s only one person already ahead of me

The service was great. The few times I been there the customer service has been wonderful, for that I will give 5 stars. However I find the coffeeshop to be quite dirty, every time I been here I have seen flies and spiders everywhere. The

Kianna is literally so kind she was the only one working and she effectively served everyone and during down time cleaned everything down. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard with excellence! I wanted to call the manager just to sing her

The Banbury Lane Crew greatly appreciated that the Higher Ground Capitol Hill locations skill in crafting the highlighted hot chocolate that they crafted for the YYC Hot Chocolate Festival. We looked at others but you had to pre order!

I have always loved this cafe, so when I had to take my car to the dealership and needed somewhere to work from, I was excited to spend the morning here. I am not one to typically write poor reviews but this experience I have to share.

The coffee was really great! The service was incredibly friendly! We waited over 20 minutes for 3 coffees which honestly didn't bother us because we were in good company but it would have been tough if we had been on a schedule. More

The staff are friendly and fast. The place was full when I went so I had to share the 8-seater table with another couple. Lots of people work on laptops here. Many of the tables are for 2 people, and some counter height seating too.

First time at Higher Ground in Capitol Hill. We found it very dirty on the floor, tables and where the baristas were making our coffees. We ordered 2 coffees and a Turkey Club and it took half hour to receive our food which was just

Coffee is great and so is their service. They have lots of options for tea, coffee, and food to choose from! Also serves alcohol - just few basic drinks though! They have started dine-in, not sure why Google says only take-out.

First time in today, barista was great and the coffee was both delicious and beautiful. Great flat white. I noticed they had a few board games stacked in the corner which would be neat if you were going with a friend. More

Beautiful environment.. Cozy, calm, very friendly.. Laptop and outlet access.. Great coffee, easy parking. Warm and lovely vibes. It was my first time being there, yet I loved it, definitely going back again

I mean…. It was okay I guess. I highly recommend never order the smoothie lol, my girl and I both had stomach problems the whole day. The chicken quesadillas were chill, but overall ima just stick to coffee. More

This place is great! It's just one of the staff made me the wrong recipe for what I ordered and added vanilla whipped cream, instead of chocolate, it made it taste better and it was

Love this place so much. Always fresh, easily located and ample parking. Staff are friendly, they smile which is awesome. Great variety and some lovely treats from the bakery too!

On August 22 in the morning, came to Higher Ground to meet my girlfriend. We both ordered coffee. I ordered Vanilla latte, not sure but coffee did not taste good, mine or hers.

Love this cafe! The baristas always make me feel welcome with their smile and fun attitude. I've been coming here for a long time and everything is consistently delicious. More

My Guilty pleasure whenever I am in Calgary since 2015. I absolutely love that they drew the most adorable penguin, and the Banana Magic can't be beat! Highly recommend More

Instantly a favourite. Cozy little spot on the corner. Maintains a young, cool, student appeal without being obnoxiously hipster. And an excellent selection of tea.

Nice location! Free parking out front. Coffee is good but on the more expensive side. Lots of people studying and working. Staff friendly! More

Nice and cozy little coffee shop that offers unique coffee and teas but also has your usual go to's. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful!

I went to the coffee shop on a rainy day I was greeted by smiling staff, took my order and made me the perfect cappuccino to go

Vaguely enjoyable, nothing special. The decor and atmosphere is nice and relaxing, and there were an okay amount of vegetarian options.

A place that serves delicious coffee. It's one of the places I go to when I want to have tasty coffee in Calgary. More

Nice place, but the worst coffee I’ve ever tried. Overcooked grain, tasteless, very bitter
